Pope Sabinian

Pope Sabinian (530-22 February 606) was Pope from 604 to 606, succeeding Pope Gregory I and preceding Pope Boniface III.

Biography
Sabinianus was born in 530 AD in Blera, Byzantine Empire (present-day Bieda, Viterbo Province, Lazio, Italy). Pope Gregory I sent Sabinian as the papal envoy to Constantinople, but he was not satisfactory in the office and he returned to Rome in 597 AD. On 13 September 604 AD he was consecrated as the new pope, and he delivered grain to the people of Rome during a famine.
